“…Units are assumed to in one of two possible states described by a transmission commitment variable c5 E (0, 1) for a wireless unit at position s: a committed state, that is, c5 = 1, where the unit s competes with its neighboring units and can become active, and an uncommitted State, c =0, where the unit never becomes active in the neighborhood. Thus, the righthand terms in activation rules (13), (14), and (15) are multiplied by c5(t) to yield the complete activation rule. Nodes may transition between committed and uncommitted states.…”
